Money Moral Dilemma
Every week, the Money Tips email features a real-life Money Moral Dilemma (MMD for short). They're intended to encourage debate and, as such, they're usually among the most discussed threads each week.
Should I have to pay for my hair and make-up to be my friend's bridesmaid?
I’ve been asked to be a bridesmaid at a friend’s wedding, which is some distance away. On top of paying for two nights in a hotel, the other bridesmaids and I are expected to cover the cost of dresses, shoes, hair, make-up and jewellery the bride wants us to wear - plus the hen do. Should the bride at least pay for the bridesmaids’ hair and make-up? I feel she should.
